On topic, BBC recently released never before seen footage of '71 war and it has a few very insightful revelations both on the Pakistani side and the Indian. How India and Bangladeshis subsequent to the conflict have succeeded in controlling the narrative, rather propaganda about the war.
Microcosm of this - watch from 1:36 onward, IAF jets bombed and orphanage in Dhaka, 200-400 perhaps more children were killed and India immediately blamed Pakistan for the bombing to make India look bad, which I wouldn't be surprised if Indian and Bangladeshis continue to believe so. Indians like everything else have continued to lie about this conflict from the outset and we are even ashamed to defend our side. We are still apologizing for the conflict.
Also, Niazi comes across as a comic figure a total buffoon and even though he had all the odds stacked against him, some with a bit more gravitas and grace would have fared much better.
